Heitritter: Why Pittsburgh May Target TE Over WR In The 2023 NFL Draft

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a history of hitting on receivers in the draft. Whether it be Santonio Holmes in the first round or Antonio Brown in the sixth round, Pittsburgh just has that special stuff when it comes to evaluating talent at the receiver position and finding in impact contributor at nearly any point in the draft.

The Steelers are in-position to draft another receiver in 2023 after losing Steven Sims in free agency to the Texans and with Miles Boykin remaining unsigned. The team has incumbents Diontae Johnson and George Pickens in tow who are established starters and have Calvin Austin III who is coming back from missing the entire 2022 campaign with a foot injury.
